All about assets protection

Assets Protection (AP) teams function to keep our guests, team, and brand secure and lead through crisis events. They protect profitable sales by mitigating shortage risks, preventing and resolving theft and fraud to ensure product is available for our guest. They also build relationships inside and outside of Target, including store leaders and public safety officials, inclusive of law enforcement.

At Target, we believe in our team members having meaningful experiences that help them build and develop skills for a career.

  • Skills in de-escalation as well as experience with physical security controls and culture
  • Ability to utilize Target's video surveillance system
  • Ability to timely and accurately document cases using case management systems

As a Target Security Specialist, no two days are ever the same, but a typical day will most likely include the following responsibilities :

  • Create a welcoming experience by greeting guests at the front of store.

  • Submit appropriate documentation in the case management system for all incidents following AP policy and procedures.
  • Understand and appropriately use Target's video surveillance system.
  • Demonstrate a culture of ethical conduct, safety, and compliance.
  • Work in a safe manner at all times; comply with all safety policies, best practices, and training; report hazards and correct where possible.
  • All other duties based on business needs.
